Mohammed Siraj Named Hyderabad Captain for Remainder of 2025–26 Ranji Trophy

Hyderabad turn to the India pacer for a late-season push with slim knockout hopes.

Overview

G Rahul Singh has been appointed vice-captain as Hyderabad resets its leadership for the closing phase.
Hyderabad will host Mumbai on January 22 and Chhattisgarh on January 29 at the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium.
The team sit fourth in Group D with 13 points, leaving only an outside chance of reaching the quarter-finals.
Siraj is set for his first Ranji appearance of the season after national-team duty, having last played the tournament for Hyderabad in January 2025.
